Noble Academy Membership & Marketing Conference and Masters Class
Shriners International Education Foundation (SIEF) Noble Academy announced the first Membership & Marketing Conference and Masters Class in the fall of 2020. Students have the option to enroll in one of three certificate programs, each representing a different learning level, allowing students to select the learning path that corresponds with their level of experience.
- Strategic Learning Path: Students obtain a Masters Class Certificate upon completion of four virtual events and one in-person conference.
- Applied Learning Path: Students obtain a Fellow Certificate upon completion of a three-day in-person conference.
- Introductory Learning Path: Students obtain an Apprentice Certificate upon completion of four virtual events
High Quality Education
Students will gain knowledge and skills needed to implement change and growth at their organization that will lead to long-term overall improvement in the areas of membership (recruitment, retention and engagement) and marketing and communications. The courses span three learning levels: introductory, applied and strategic. Each level is recognized with a certificate.
Certificate
Upon completion of the required education for each learning path, the student will receive a certificate in recognition of their achievement at either an Apprentice, Fellow or Masters Class level.
Networking
At virtual events and the in-person conference, students will have the opportunity to exchange information and ideas with their peers from Shriners International and other Masonic family organizations. As we work together for a common cause, our organizations will also benefit from this important collaboration and community building.
Masters Class Level Benefits
Students who complete all virtual seminars and the in-person conference will receive SIEF’s Noble Academy highest recognition for membership and marketing, digital recognition badge, an invite-only reception at the in-person conference, a recognition certificate and exclusive access to a Masters-Class only private social media group.
